Marion Wright

Notes:

It is possible that her middle name is Ambria, which is how she is referred to in the obituary of her daughter, Dorothy. Furthermore, it appears that both her mother, and namesake daughter Marion, used the name Ambria. However, on census records, in the obituary of her son Herbert Lee Chapman, and on her tombstone, she is instead simply listed as "Mother, Marion Caie, 1877-1918."
